Compressor control system for a portable ventilator

A method and apparatus for controlling a brushless DC (BLDC) motor over a wide range of angular speeds is presented. Analog magnetic sensors provide continuous signal measurements related to the rotor angular position at a sample rate independent of rotor angular speed. In one embodiment, analog signal measurements are subsequently processed using an arctangent function to obtain the rotor angular position. The arctangent may be computed using arithmetic computation, a small angle approximation, a polynomial evaluation approach, a table lookup approach, or a combination of various methods. In one embodiment, the BLDC rotor is used to drive a Roots blower used as a compressor in a portable mechanical ventilator system.

Sampling rate independent speech recognition

A sampling-rate-independent method of automated speech recognition (ASR). Speech energies of a plurality of codebooks generated from training data created at an ASR sampling rate are compared to speech energies in a current frame of acoustic data generated from received audio created at an audio sampling rate below the ASR sampling rate. A codebook is selected from the plurality of codebooks, and has speech energies that correspond to speech energies in the current frame over a spectral range corresponding to the audio sampling rate. Speech energies above the spectral range are copied from the selected codebook and appended to the current frame.

Light-generating apparatus control system

A control system for a light-generating apparatus can include a control cyclically operating a switching element in series with the circuit including the apparatus's power source and light. Upon actuation of the apparatus's switch within a specified switching interval, the control shifts to a drift mode causing the circuit to automatically pass through consecutive excitation states such that the light passes through successive levels of preferably increasing intensity at a rate independent of the switching interval over an adjustment interval of momentarily indefinite duration. Another switch actuation shifts to set mode, which stops the light at a desired intensity. The drift and set operations are repeatable. An indicator preferably enables the operator to adjust the light's intensity based on the available remaining life of the power source as differently determined for each different intensity. To facilitate interchangeability between differently sized apparatus, the control's housing can include an adjustable spacing element.

Cell management method and apparatus

In a cell management method and apparatus which can prevent a call loss generated in association with an increase of cell usage rate independent of a protection frequency bandwidth, cell usage rates of operating cells (at frequency Fo) are acquired. Narrower nonoperating cells (at frequency Fo) of the operating cell in which the cell usage rate indicates a high-load state are rendered an addition candidate and the operating cell is rendered a deletion candidate. A broader nonoperating cell (at frequency Fo) of the operating cell in which the cell usage rate indicates a low-load state is rendered an addition candidate, and the operating cell and other narrower operating cells belonging to the nonoperating cell are rendered deletion candidate. From among the nonoperating cells that are the addition candidate and the operating cells that are the deletion candidates, a nonoperating cell(s) to be switched over to an operating cell(s) and an operating cell(s) to be switched over to a nonoperating cell(s) is determined.

Speech to dtmf generation

A method of speech to DTMF generation involving ASR-enabled and DTMF-controlled communications systems. The ASR-enabled system is used to recognize speech received from the DTMF-controlled telecommunications system using sampling rate independent speech recognition. It then identifies a speech segment contained in the speech received from the DTMF-controlled system that corresponds with at least one keyword associated with user-defined data. Then, the ASR-enabled system transmits at least one DTMF signal to the DTMF-controlled system in response to the identified speech segment. This allows a user of an ASR-enabled system such as a vehicle telematics unit to at least partially automate access to the DTMF-controlled system using the telematics unit, so that voice mailbox numbers, passwords, and the like normally entered via a telephone keypad can be automatically sent to the DTMF-controlled system from the telematics unit without having to be manually input each time by the user.

An improved thermal lance is made of a low carbon steel sheath having an internal bore and a thin cylindrical rod that is roll-formed from low carbon steel sheet. The rod being sized for conforming fit in the bore of the sheath and has a length dimension that is longer than the length of the sheath. The rod is inserted into the bore of the sheath and allowed to move axially within the sheath under propulsion of the pressurized oxygen to allow the rod to be burned at a rate independent of the burn rate of the sheath. A thermal lance assembly using the improved lance also includes a magnet located near the bottom of the lance housing to keep the lance from moving during routine handling and storage.

Multi-rate finite impulse response filter

Embodiments include systems and methods for implementing a multi-rate FIR by using rate-dependent bit stuffing on the cursor, while using rate-independent (e.g., full-rate) spacing on the pre- and post-cursor. For example, in the FIR data path, the cursor bit output is generated using bit stuffing, depending on a selected rate mode (e.g., full-rate, half-rate, quarter-rate, eighth-rate, etc.), but the spacing of the pre-cursor, cursor, and post-cursor are maintained at 1 UI apart (i.e., the full-rate spacing) for all rate modes. Such an approach can appreciably reduce complexity of the logic and can appreciably relieve the critical timing path.
